This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $80 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

Beautiful nautical illustration of the USS Constitution , nicknamed Old Ironsides for aiding in the capture of numerous British merchantmen and five warships during the War of 1812, sails the high seas in front of the towering ocean liner, the Leviathan. The United States Lines used the Leviathan as its flagship until 1929.
Please note minor tears along left edge.
